Building on the success of the first publication of experts associated with the “Science Against Pandemic” initiative and based on the need for more community education, a group of experts decided to present a number of analyzes and recommendations containing the impact on the health of Poles – we read on the website of the “Science Against Pandemic” initiative.

Lack of knowledge based on scientific facts can contribute to misinformation, which is why a team of more than ten physicians and scientists in the major fields of medicine and biology prepared a white paper entitled:
“Characteristics of COVID-19 disease, symptoms and health effects. Recommendations and experiences of Polish doctors” – we read more.

Modern knowledge

The white paper contains up-to-date verified information on symptoms and complications of COVID-19 and treatment recommendations. Specialists emphasize that the risks of contracting SARS-CoV-2 are not only what happens in the acute stage of the disease. Serious and long-term complications can affect a large proportion of people who have contracted COVID-19.

“Thanks to the hard work of doctors and scientists, we already know more and more about the so-called COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndromes, that is, long-term, and possibly permanent, disease symptoms. Rehabilitation and treatment of these patients will not be possible. A real challenge to the healthcare system” – They argue.
